[jssailem]

[Brian D]

Go Mari... err... NAVY and Marine midshipmen.

 

[Gene Neill]

Sorry fellas ...

GO ARMY!!

 

[JamesG161]

Navy had better looking helmets for sure!

 

[Brian D]

Congrats to the Army team. Next year.

 

[Mikem]

My daughter is delighted. She is WP '07. I'm not delighted. USNA a long time ago.

@Mikem these types of inter family rivalries can challenge the soul. On the one had she is your daughter. The little girl you emotionaly need to care for during your life. On the other hand she is a West Pointer. Oh the humanity of it all.

Oh that is too funny. She is a great girl. Bronze star in Afghanistan doing stuff she can't talk about.

Next time you get to talk, give her best wishes. She will be in my prayers. May she do her duty and at the same time be safe and return to her family when the job is done.

I found this message many years ago, and I share it during the season.

Preach it, brother. My sister and her husband, my brother and his wife, my nephew ... all Navy officers. Two of them are Annapolis grads, one of them a SEAL.

Then there is me ... the lone Army grunt, who dropped out of school and enlisted on his 17th birthday.

I'm seriously outnumbered here!!

 

[jssailem]

So Gene... Your telling us that you got them right where you want them.

 

[Gene Neill]

Exactly. It's kinda like this ...

Sir, you are too kind. I shall do so.

 

[Brian D]

And you tell her, from this old jar-head enlisted man, to pay heed to her senior enlisted men/women. They didn't get there by serving coffee all day.

 

[Mikem]

Roger that, Brian.

 

[jssailem]

Oh come on Brian.... Maybe one did... But it was pretty good coffee.

 

[Brian D]

That be NAVY coffee, John. It can lubricate the toughest engine anytime.

 

[jssailem]

Aye matey...
